Imagine the food supply chain as a giant spider web where one broken thread can stop food from reaching your table. This project builds a digital map and a set of rules to spot those weak threads before they break. It helps everyone from farmers to truck drivers work together to keep food moving even during a crisis.
Food supply chains are fragile and easily disrupted by crises, leading to poverty and food insecurity. There is a lack of evidence-based tools to identify vulnerabilities across different value chains before a crisis hits.
A digital ecosystem consisting of risk management tools and a governance system. It includes a reference architecture and user requirements for monitoring food value chains.
If you are a transport carrier dealing with sudden route closures or supply shocks — this project developed digital tools that provide evidence-based indications on risks. This allows you to reroute shipments and maintain an uninterrupted food supply.
If you are a grain producer dealing with geopolitical disruptions like the invasion of Ukraine — this project developed a management system that identifies vulnerabilities in the value chain. This helps you safeguard your shipments and prevent financial loss during crises.
If you are a retailer dealing with empty shelves due to dairy or vegetable shortages — this project developed a governance system for better cooperation with producers. This ensures a more stable flow of goods to your stores.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the digital tools.
The project is currently developing and testing the ecosystem through case studies, including the Ukraine grain chain, but full industrial scale is not yet confirmed.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms or patent details are not mentioned.
The project focuses on food security and resilience, aligning with the FARM2FORK-01-15 topic to safeguard food supply during crises.
The project period runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-06-30, suggesting full availability toward the end of this window.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with 16 industry partners (42% ratio) and 10 SMEs. This strong industrial presence, combined with 38 partners across 16 countries, suggests the resulting tools will be grounded in real-world logistics and production needs rather than just academic theory.
